I am setting up gpu server in aws, by below link:  
[Platform setup with Amazon Linux — HOOPS Communicator 2024.2.0 Documentation (techsoft3d.com)](https://docs.techsoft3d.com/communicator/latest/overview/platform-setup/amazon-linux.html)

lspci -nn | grep VGA  
00:01.3 Non-VGA unclassified device [0000]: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB … (rev 08)  
00:03.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com), Inc. Device [1d0f:1111]

The above command doesn’t show NVIDIA.

So, I run below command:  
lspci -nn | egrep ‘VGA | 3D’  
00:1e.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation TU104GL [Tesla T4] [10de:1eb8] (rev 01)

## Your document said to me:

# Get bus id of the GPU device. and confirm that it is “0:3:0”

# string will be something similar to: 00:03.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GK104GL [GRID K520] [10de:118a] (rev a1)

lspci -nn | grep VGA

# locate a “Device” Section with BoardName set to “GRID K520”

# add the BusId parameter to it eg:

# BusID “0:3:0”

## sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

In my case, what is the proper BusID, “0:3:0” or “0:1E:0” or “0:3:2”?

Hello @hskwon,

For your NVIDIA Tesla T4, I believe your BusID is “PCI:00:30:00” which is basically converting the hexadecimal “0:1E:0” to decimal. As a quick test, if you just run `sudo nvidia-xconfig` WITHOUT any options, the resulting xorg.conf file will show the correct BusID.

Provided that you’ve installed the NVIDIA drivers and necessary packages, you also don’t have to run `sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --use-display-device=None --virtual=1280x1024` and instead, just run `sudo nvidia-xconfig`. The X server might not run if there is no display device specified in the xorg.conf.

Lastly, the T4 shows up as a 3D Controller because it is really optimized for 3D rendering and computational tasks rather than driving a display.

Hope this helps,  
Tino
